Location: Appleton,WI | Does the pressure of water take action away from a bait at deeper depths???
Is the action noticable? |

Location: Madison, WI | I saw on the Discovery Channel where a Depth Raider (staight - Nite Shiner) trolled at a depth of 2000 feet would come back the size of small Tad Polly. OK... now that I think about it, it was a styrofoam cup and they weren't actually trolling but in mind I was seeing Depth Raiders and muskies the size of large houses. So at the least the depth of the water effects my ability to think clearly. Does that answer your question? |

Quick physics lesson, if confused call me.
We are in 1-atmosphere which is roughly 15psi. at sea level.
Every 33' in the water column is considered another atmosphere.
At 2atm. or 33' a "ballon" or airspace would be 1/2 the volume and twice the desnsity of what it was at 1 atm. Conversly a ballon filled with air at 33' would be twice its size in volume if brought to the surface if it didn't burst first.
"this is why letting fish hooked at depth swim their way up and not to "crank'em" in as it could rupture their bladder if they can't dump the air quick enough."
However the pressure effect basically only has effect on airspace for our discussion here.
To answer your question...
Your glider, cranks, and anything else you build in your shop or buy at the tackle store should run just fine at depth.
Extreme cold water vs warm water would have a greater effect as cold water molecules are more dense "tighter" than warm water. But I don't think it's enough to effect how a glider or twitch bait runs between July and Nov.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Mark is exactly correct, according tio several source documents I looked into. No noticable difference at the depths we are fishing. |
